In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and green onion and cook for about a minute. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder until fully combined. Add the tomatoes, beans, bell pepper, carrot, brown sugar and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer the chili for 15 minutes. Serve over white rice.

That sounds good! Now for my chili recipe! I’m obviously not a country superstar, nor am I married to a country superstar. I don’t have my own cooking show on the Food Network, but I still think my chili is pretty good.

Georgia’s Not So Famous Chili (really it’s my grandmother’s recipe)

1 pound ground beef

salt and pepper

1 medium onion, diced

1 large can plain tomatoes

1 teaspoon red chili powder

1 can kidney beans

sugar to taste, optional

1 cup of water

In a large stockpot, saute onion and ground beef. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, tomatoes and water. Cook for 1 hour on medium-low heat. Add water as needed if it starts to get too thick. Add beans and cook for another 30 minutes. Taste it for seasoning. My mom and grandmother always added a pinch of sugar. You can leave it out if you want.
